Rothco Taxi Driver Report is a new series which explores topical issues using taxi drivers as a conduit of public opinion. Starting in Ireland, we’ll soon be hailing down cabs in cities across the world to provide a completely unique global perspective.
Meet a few of our Dublin regulars in our first episode “Dublin Taxi Drivers on Love”, who give us their own personal thoughts on what love is – giving you the feels just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Fight!

I thought they were a ‘Creative Agency’…
You obviously haven’t watched the video.
Left your tinfoil hat at home, today?
Oh look lads, a ‘Tinfoil’ hat comment.
On The Buses is bang on. Don’t be part of a free crowd source opinion.
Pay for your research Kathleen and stop using the public for free. It’s lazy and dishonest.

On the bottom of their own page for this video they say:
“For any enquiries or requests to do a Taxi Driver Report for your own brand please contact curiosityshop@rothco.ie.”
This is insidious and manipulative marketing. As I’m sure Broadsheet are aware of.
On the buses spotted a conspiracy or something !
…didn’t Pat Kenny already do this years ago with his ‘gabbie cabbie’ from New York?
“..it all those Nigerians, you see..”
Zero interest in this triteshite.grrrrr
How can they represent public opinion when they are the demographic is so narrow. Patronising the working class.
You’ll find that taxi drivers come from all social classes. So your comment was in itself a bit patronising.
plenty of these fellas are minted. early retirement on 80% pension in your 50’s , mortgage paid off? nice one . Get a license . write off every breakfast roll. diesel receipt etc.,against your tax returns. work the hours that suit ya. and still see yourself as the voice of the working man.
Taxi drivers are like a***holes…
No hang on, opinions are like taxi drivers….
No, wait. Every taxi driver has one….
Ah you know I mean.
